Two Against One (EDITING)

(If I Lose Myself)

“You both are dating?” Bryan asks.

Great he doesn’t know about me and Callum. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow as he looks between me and Callum waiting for either one of us to reply to his question.

“Um…we aren’t official yet or anything” I say calmly to Bryan.

He nods his head slowly and resumes eating.

“Oh and about the camping trip Cameron it’s going to be impossible for me, April and Callum to come” Leo tells him.

That’s true, I mean, we have work and never get a holiday for it unless the office is closed. Cameron groans out loud and gives Leo a slight glare.

“You’re the boss of the business. You can take a break whenever you want including letting April and Callum to have a short break as well” Cameron argued.

“Listen Cameron” I say making him look towards me. “We didn’t come all the way from Italy for a holiday. Me and Leo are on a business trip and lacking office work and not turning up isn’t exactly professional” I say.

He rolls his eyes at me and nudges my shoulder slightly.

“When did you turn so uptight?” Cameron asks me.

Rolling my own eyes I hear Callum and Leo laugh beside me.

“Why was she never this uptight?” Bryan asks.

You should know Bryan, you should know.

“Hardly. She was full of life and ever since she came back from Italy she’s changed to a completely different person” Cameron tells me.

Cameron! I felt like screaming at him. He knows why I’ve changed and he knows that I’ve changed for the best of it.

“Cameron a change is always good once in a while. When you have nothing left in your life you need to start thinking of the best possible outcomes to keep your life going to the way you want it”

“See your talking like them teachers and why aren’t you a teacher? You wanted to be a teacher anyway” Cameron says.

Oh God Cameron!

“I feel like I’m in an interview or something” I tell Leo making him chuckle.

“Honestly April. I thought you wanted to be a teacher”

“You can’t always get what you want Cameron” I reply back.

“I’ll tell you why she isn’t a teacher” Leo said backing me up.

“Please enlighten me dude” Cameron tells him.

“Well April did go for many job interviews in Italy but no school accepted her. So when I was holding interviews for a new worker in my office April stumbled along with the qualifications which did even meet the criteria of the office basis. But she admitted that she wasn’t going to get the job in the interview but wanted to give it a shot anyway. Then I saw that she had a lot of potential in her and she just needed to be pushed in the right direction. I mean, honestly, my head was telling me I was making a huge, HUGE mistake” Leo says empathising the word huge making me smile. “But my heart told me that she was a risk I was willing to take and look at her now. She learnt everything she needed to know and is one of the best”

“Awww my little April is all grown up now” Cameron started to pinch my cheeks making me squirm in my seat.

 Slapping his hands anyway I rubbed my sore cheek as he laughed at my reaction.

“Alright let me just get dessert out of the fridge and serve it up now” He gave me a wink and moved away from me.

“Jerk face” I mummer underneath my breath.

“Your jerk face” He replies back. Right, how could I forget, he has superpowers! “Right I’ve got strawberry ice cream and vanilla which one do you guys want”

“Vanilla!” Me and Bryan locked eyes once he both said vanilla together.

 He just looked at my face and I stared back. However, his gaze made me feel very uncomfortable making me look away from him.

“Right how could I forget? You both love vanilla” Cameron says while his back is still towards us. “What about the rest of you?” Callum, Leo and the bitchy girlfriend responded back as we waited for Cameron to give us the dessert. “April?” Cameron called out to me.

“Yes Cameron?”

“Someone just knocked on the door do you mind getting it for me?” Cameron asked.

Wait, nobody knocked on the door.

“Cameron, nobody knocked on the door” I tell him.

“April I live here I know when someone knocks on the door. Do you mind getting it for me?” Getting up from my seat I exit the kitchen and walk towards the front door opening it revealing someone I thought I’d never see again.

“April”

“Caleb….hey”
